if you needed the "opposite of press" you could, in some cases, write de-press. (Think of some sort of metal-working factory.) BTW the spirit of your question - the fact that "de-" can mean more than one thing -- so what? English is a total mess! You can give literally thousands of examples of words that "should mean" something else, in a humorous way. — Joe Blow 1 hour ago

I don't understand this comment. The latter portion, mainly. I never said anything "should mean" something else.

It should be visible who starred what, like facebook likes. I sometimes feel dirty about starred messages :)

@Medica. It’s unfortunite that you were unsuccesful in growing Japanese quince. Maybe the climate or soil over there didn’t match their growing conditions. When you peel off thin skin of the fruit, you get yellow-color thick fresh covering pretty big seeds. The fresh is sweet. We have Japanese old saying – When you have one tree of Japanese quince in your yard, you don’t need doctor. According to http://health-long-life.sakura.ne.jp/newpage245.htm, the leaves of quince have been described as the panacea for all kinds of deseases in Indian Ayurveda since 3000 years ago.

@YoichiOishi By "amigdarin" do they mean this?

Amygdalin (from Ancient Greek: ἀμυγδαλή amygdálē "almond"), C20H27NO11, is a glycoside initially isolated from the seeds of the tree Prunus dulcis, also known as bitter almonds, by Pierre-Jean Robiquet and Antoine Boutron-Charlard, in 1830 and subsequently investigated by Liebig and Wöhler in 1830. Several other related species in the genus of Prunus, including apricot (Prunus armeniaca) and black cherry (Prunus serotina), also contain amygdalin. Since the early 1950s, both amygdalin and a modified form named laetrile or Vitamin B17 have been promoted as cancer cures. However, neither of these...

11:56 AM

@RegDwigнt I’m no knight, let alone a dame.

I don't let dames alone.

dame in Japanese means something like "it's bad" . . .

What does "madame" mean, then?

だめです。= "that sucks" (more or less)

Loans are an albatross about the neck, but gifts in non-sequential, unmarked bills are freely accepted.

12:00 PM

@RegDwigнt ma is an interjection meaning something like "umm".

Excellent.

@Robusto They talk backwards?

Pretty much.

ま、だめです。

We would say "I'm going to the store." They say "The store to go [I is implied]"

12:01 PM

Kana always looks like somebody or other’s fancy monograms to me.

@RegDwigнt The です at the end is what we would call a copula, but isn't quite the same.

I know all about des. Ka.

I counterbalance it by not knowing jack shit about anything else at all.

It's des[u]. Don't entirely drop the [u]. It still counts in syllable formation. We've been over this.

Of course.

I'm no Cerberus.

@Robusto We can often omit the first word in casual discourse. Going to the store. Off to the store. Want some more?

12:04 PM

Yes. But Japanese is the opposite. They only put it in when they absolutely, positively have to be specific about who is doing the action.

Wow that was fast.

@Robusto Pro-drop?

Read: like Spanish or Italian?

I didn’t think they had an inflectional system for verbs like that.

Russian is between all chairs as usual.

@tchrist More like pronoun shunning. Normally, it's considered kind of rude to address someone by their pronoun. Circumlocutions are used (this side, that side, etc.) but more often verb forms and different nouns (honorable vs. humble) are used to indicate whether one is talking about oneself or one's interlocutor. And, of course, all depends on the relative status of the people speaking.

There are a lotta rules.

@tchrist It's not inflectional.

@RegDwigнt So long as the music’s still playing, that’s ok.

Can we get any more blue in here?

12:08 PM

Only in another year.

We must be the most polite chat room ever.

Not strictly inflectional, anyway. You might consider the use of polite verb endings inflectional, but often entirely different verbs are used.

@Robusto. I simply translated amygdarin from Katakana. But I think so because the exhibit you showed refers to vitamine B1 and effectiveness of amygdarin on cancer.

Anonymous

@Robusto People consider it to be there psychologically, and describing Japanese phonemically as though the /u/ were entirely gone would make phonotactics perhaps more complicated than anyone wants it to be

Anonymous

But it's often phonetically deleted entirely, not just devoiced

12:11 PM

Oh-oh.

@snailboat Yet if you listen closely, you still hear space being given for it.

Anonymous

As it often is, as in say /gakuseʜ/ [gakseː], where the [u] is pretty much always entirely gone

@snailboat This is the way reduced vowels work in Portuguese, too, especially a terminal /u/ or “mute” <e>.

The natives think of them as being there, and nobody else can hear them. :)

@snailboat But it never collapses entirely into x, which is how a Western pronunciation would render it.

@Robusto I knew you would manage to say that before I would manage to find a quote of you saying that.

So I'll post another one.

Nov 11 '12 at 14:02, by Robusto

What makes it more complicated is that the su syllable usually has an unvoiced, or muted, vowel, but takes the same duration as other syllables. Beginning learners say desu as dess but that's not right. We pronounce sumo as soo-mo but Japanese pronounce it s'MO.

12:12 PM

smores

How do Japanese pronounce smurfs?

You don't want to know.

Then again I guess knowing about smurfs makes you a baka.

They have enough of their own stuff, don't need no smurfs.

Probably ｽﾏ—ﾙﾌ. Six syllables, compared to our one.

I like mora. It's relatively unambiguous. You can use syllable as a synonym for mora when talking specifically about Japanese, but then you'll confuse some people.

I like turtles.

@snailboat In fact, I was talking strictly about Japanese. And those people were confused before I even got here.

Anonymous

Most generative phonologists take it as given that syllables are part of the structure of every language, and specifically talk about light and heavy syllables consisting of one or two morae

Matt Эллен

12:24 PM

I was confused before he got here

@MattЭллен I confused before there was a he.

Anonymous

So they would describe Japanese as having both the basic rhythmic unit of the mora, and a potentially larger unit of the syllable

So Tōkyō /toʜkyoʜ/ [toːkʲoː] could be described as four morae /to.ʜ.kyo.ʜ/ but two heavy syllables [toː] and [kʲoː]

You used to like Susans for everything; now it’s turtles.

No, it's a quote from Snatch.

(Here I use the Japanese practice of writing a "long vowel phoneme" as /ʜ/, which is supposed to be intuitive, similar to how people write the name 佐藤 Satō as Satoh)

@Robusto,@RegDwight. I'm amused to find you are talking about Japanese all the way. I sense both of you are much more familar with Japanese language than I am with your language. 凄い！Terrific. By the way I happened to conversate in Chinese with a group of Chines young girls in 豚カツ店‐Ｐｏｒk fry restaurant in neighborhood of Asakusa templｅ　ｄｏｗｎｔｏｗｎ　iｎ　Ｔｏｋｙｏ.

Although　current political　relationship　between　Japan　and　China　is　against　wind,　we　could　enjoy　c‌onversation and　deepen　friendship.　Young　genarations　are　much　more frexible　and　friendlier than our generation,　and　I　realized　how　important for us to be mutually communicable in each other's language.

Rob actually studied the language and lived there, too.

Anonymous

Anyway, you don't have to accept that syllables are relevant to the discussion of Japanese. Many linguists think that only morae are relevant to Japanese. If you agree with them, I would stick to morae because it's unambiguous

12:30 PM

@RegDwigнt And brought home notable keepsakes.

I only watch way too many Japanese films, play way too many Japanese games, and listen to Matsuura Aya way more than is healthy.

That is all.

My wife is Japanese-American, but speaks little or no Japanese. I studied Japanese and speak it fairly well. When we would go into sushi restaurants, they would speak to her in Japanese, she would look at me, I would translate, then she would respond in English and I would tell the waiter what she said in Japanese.

Feb 3 '11 at 20:28, by Robusto

Then the waiter would laugh and tell my wife in Japanese that I spoke very good Japanese, and how remarkable was that, yeah?

And then he would reply to me in English.

Q: How can I ask about a confirmation?

Two heroes are available. Hero #1: Please, send me an URL to that site. Here #2: Go to www.bla.bla. Is it true that you look for? Is the phrase "Is it true that you look for" correct? How can I say this differently?

A: Indian-English usage of "Kindly"

The meaning of kindly is hopefully clear: "kindly help me" means "please be kind and help me" (or "please help me out of kindness"), etc. It's a word used for polite requests; a bare "help me" is impolite relative to "kindly help me". If you're asking why kindly is more common in Indian English ...
